DescriptionOur physical environment can impact our emotions and behaviors, both negatively and positively, increasing or reducing our stress levels. The spaces in which we live and receive services can communicate safety and promote supportive relationships, or they can reinforce lack of dignity and agency. The experience of unsafe, non-supportive spaces is further intensified for individuals who have experienced trauma. This course will examine how interior design practitioners can employ the principles of Trauma-informed Design (TiD) to create physical spaces that promote safety, resilience, and healing. You will be introduced to the current understanding of trauma, how trauma can impact people, and learn about the three spheres and 11 domains of the TiD Framework.
What You Will Learn
- Define trauma.
- Identify the key principles of a trauma-informed approach.
- Discuss the importance of identifying and mitigating stressors in the built environment.
- Delineate the three spheres and 11 domains of Trauma-informed Design.
- Find further Trauma-informed Design resources.

DescriptionAs human lifespans extend, the cost of living continues to rise, and lifestyles become increasingly diverse, there is increased pressure on maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle inside the home. This presents a compelling opportunity to proactively integrate universal design principles into everyday living, starting with the primary place of residence for people who are growing older
Designers can employ adaptable accessibility features in the early stages of home development and construction to create barrier-free living environments that are capable of accommodating changing needs over time. In this intermediate Part 2 course, we will delve into case studies featuring individuals with wide-ranging needs and living situations. We will illustrate the significant benefits of adaptive design and planning techniques, building on the foundation of the baseline and universal design personas introduced in Part 1. Additional case studies will demonstrate how the appropriate integration of universal design principles in advance can help to ease lifestyle transitions, not only for people living in group settings, but also for those coping with sudden injuries and significant physical or mental changes.
Subject matter expertise provided by the ASID Universal Design Committee (formerly known as the Committee on Adaptive Living).
- Note: Although not required, prior completion of Home +: Designing Adaptive Homes for Care, Comfort, and Changeability | Part 1: Beginning Concepts is strongly recommended.
What You Will Learn- Emphasize adaptive living as a fundamental aspect of residential design.
- Assess architectural plans to identify necessary design adjustments for adaptations.
- Cultivate skills and strategies for universal design.
- Perform task and activity analyses to determine adaptation requirements for design plans.

DescriptionThe rise in synthetic products coupled with the focus on airtight buildings to conserve energy has led to a rise in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semi volatile organic compounds (SVOCs), particulate matter (PM) and chemical related indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, resulting in building-related illness, litigation and leasing problems. Additionally, an increase in weather-related disasters, warmer temperatures and changes in precipitation have increased ground ozone, mold and pathogens. Evolving environmental conditions are impacting building materials and increasing the risks to human health. This presentation seeks to raise greater awareness so that interior designers can drive market transformation collectively towards healthier spaces. Interior designers can be part of the solution by reducing indoor pollution, achieving better building resiliency, and proactively incorporating design measures that (1) evaluate potential impacts from extreme weather events and (2) prioritize the selection of materials, finishes and furnishings that minimize risks to human health.
This session includes a designer panel featuring: Alison Faecher, ASID, NCIDQ, EDAC, LEED AP, Principal, Interior Design, SmithGroup | Ken Wilson, ASID, FIIDA, FAIA, LEED Fellow, Principal, Interior Design Director, Perkins&Will | Toni Gocke Wyre, FASID, LEED AP, WELL AP, Program Director, Interior Design, University of Central Arkansas
